Product Details

IPS Alpha LED LCD Technology
The IPS Alpha panel, which is known for its wide viewing angle and excellent
light transmittance, is now further enhanced with a bright, energy-saving
LED backlight. Images do not fade when viewed from an angle, and contrast
is higher than in previous IPS Alpha models in spite of using less power.
The IPS Alpha LED LCD TV offers superb color rendering and also contributes
to the display's slim design

LED Backlight
This system places LED backlights on the top and bottom of the panel, and
sends the light toward the center of the screen. Using light guides and diffusers,
it distributes the light over the entire panel to provide backlighting. There
is no need to cover the entire rear surface with LEDs, so the panel module
is thinner and a great deal of energy is saved

Dynamic Contrast
By combining the highly light-transmissive IPS Alpha Panel and high-brightness
LED backlight, Panasonic have attained both high contrast and low power consumption.
Also, by detecting the contrasting parts of the scene, the backlight is adjusted
to maintain a brightness that is optimal for each area. Deep blacks are reproduced
with no fading. The contrast between the brilliance of diamond-like stars
and the deep black of the night sky produces a sharp, crisp image

Wide Viewing Angle
The wide 178° viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an
angle. The backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between
light and dark, and improves motion-image response

Having never had an HD TV before, I was initially frustrated with being unable to adjust the picture size to fill the screen. However, after working with the remote for the TV with no success, I proceded to the remote for the cable box and successfully found the proper parameters to fit the picture to the screen. I am extremely satisfied with the picture and sound quality that this product has.

I purchased a sony google tv which I had to return eventually, because of an awful SD picture quality. Then I bought this tv and I am glad I did. Its HD picture is great. SD picture is much better. Sound is OK (could be better). Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.

With a cabinet opening 36 inches by 24 inches, I searched for a 37 inch LED LCD TV that would fit the opening plus have outstanding ratings by other users. Mounted on the heavy-duty stand, this TV was the perfect all around choice. Cabling and setup was as simple as it gets. Currently this TV will be used for family viewing but has more than enough HDMI/USB ports for anything we'll want to add later. Having two other flat screens, one of which is a 26 inch Panasonic, I had something to compare the pictue quality to. I was not dissapointed. The pictue quality is awesome. Although the sound could be better, it's still a good choice at a good price.

Bought this set after searching the Internet from Coast to Coast. Ordered it on the phone on a Monday Morning, arrived on Wednesday AM via UPS in a Sealed carton, in Door County Wisconsin. Very easy to set up, and I followed the on screen directions. Perfect picture and good sound. A feature I did not expect, is the slot for a camera chip. Just pop in the chip and look at the photos with TV remote. Great feature !! My only negative comment is the light reflection I get on the shiny black case.
